    I just installed a Dell 1490 (BCM4311KFBG) wireless card in my A150 running iAKTOS v5i, and it now freezes when I get to the grey Apple screen. I've swapped the old wifi card back in, and it boots fine. I also noticed that the Dell card runs incredibly hot. Like, touch it for more than a second and come away with a burn hot. Is there any way I can verify that I didn't just get a bum card short of installing it in another laptop? Is there any way I might be able to fix it? My BIOS is version 3305, if that makes any difference.

    Please help! :cry:

    Anyone? Has anyone run into this issue before, even with other computers? Can anyone confirm that they got this exact chip to work?
